Malvern Hills

Known and loved for its rolling landscape and pure spring water, the Malvern Hills has forts and castles atop hilly crests, endless ancient woodlands, and wild open commons. With Turo, you can access cars to take you to these hidden treasures without any hidden costs.

Stratford-upon-Avon

Shakespeare’s stomping ground will always attract history buffs and literary lovers, but if you don’t fall into either camp, you won’t be disappointed with the town’s clutch of excellent restaurants and hotels. Or perhaps try a little boating on the Avon. Remember to keep your valid driving license and any additional documentation handy when hiring a car.

Snowdonia

Drive a couple of hours west of Birmingham, and you’ll arrive at Snowdonia National Park in Wales. It’s an outdoorsy haven. Not only are there mountains to scale, but there’s a surf scene to find if you reach the coast. To make your journey more comfortable, consider long-term rental options for the type of vehicle that suits your travel style.

Driving tips in Birmingham

Purple squiggle

Birmingham Clean Air Zone

Birmingham City Council’s website will tell you if the car you book on Turo is exempt from the Congestion Charge in the Clean Air Zone. No vehicles are banned from using the zone, but you may need to pay to enter if your car doesn’t meet the allowed emission levels.

Plan your parking

Some of Birmingham’s city centre car parks have over 1,000 spaces, making it easy to find parking spaces in Brum. If you’re eyeing a little retail therapy, head to the Bullring car park, or try Moor Street car park. Both these options have EV charging points for electric vehicles, too.

Look out for the M6 toll

Birmingham is hemmed in by the M42, M5 and M6 motorways. Look out for the 27-mile M6 toll road, where you need to pay at a toll plaza to use the road. No change? No worries. The booths accept contactless payments.
